For Better or Werts : TV Worth Watching

WATCH ONLINE: March Madness streams free

CBSSports.com's free online streams of March Madness on Demand start with Sunday's live "Selection Show" (March 15 at 6 p.m. ET) and continue with live game action throughout the annual three-week championship of NCAA men's basketball (March 19-April 6).

That means now is the time to make sure your computer/browser/software are ready to deliver all the action. Visit the March Madness on Demand site to get what you need (software downloads are free), to see the brackets take shape, and to revisit video of previous seasons' highlights.

Broadband connection speeds are definitely necessary to take it all in, especially if you want to use MMOD's new High Quality player with better video and one-click access to bracket updates. (The site will let you know if your browser/computer can handle it.)

Other MMOD goodies now hook into Facebook, your own website, and update widgets. Got an iPhone? You can watch there, too.

Last year's March Madness on Demand drew almost 5 million unique users online, while this year's is expected to lure more than 7 million. It's turning into a major demonstration of live online viewing power, and a big building block for CBSSports.com as it seeks to become a gateway destination for sports online.

But what about sports on good old TV? March Madness reigns supreme there, too, with five dozen games set to be seen on both CBS and ESPN.

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
